one-fourth of mile further, as Pete
was descending hill. he paused struck
with amazement. Had he been sud-
denly confronted with a view of the
Atlantic Ocean he could no thave been
more surprised. There right before
him were half dozen or more tents or
shanties. There were wagons and
miners tools, and he could easily see
that they had been there for several
days. Ponderous machinery had been
erected and deep shaft sunk, while
all around the ground was black with
lead and silver ore. Floating rumors
had been abroad of lead and silver

WELL-liGHTED BARNS.
Tho Influence of Light on the Health
and Condition oI Livestock.


ana Condition oi livestock.
Here and there we see an old-style
barn, built by our grandfathers. the
only window being single row of
panes over the large door. Through
this comes all of the light admitted to
the barn, except what comes through
the open cracks between the boards.
When "a barn of this kind is filled with
hay it is comfortably warm. but very
dark; by midwinter the hay, being
half consumed, leaves the walls unpro-
tected. With the light come in also
the cold wintry winds to chill the cat
tie. Our fathers built some barns
warmer. covering the walls with
shingles or the cracks with narrow
battens. The light being thus shut
out, it was necessary to have windows,
so they put in just enough to enable
them to see TO feed their cattle. 1t
was left for our generation to build
barns that are tight, comfortable and
well lighted. But even at present
many farmers do not realize the inn
portance OF light i'm cattle barn.
Experiments show that herd Of milch
cows not only keep in better health
and condition by having plenty of
light, but they give more milk. Every
barn should be provided with plenti-
full light and sunshine on the side
where the cattle stand. The practice,
which is far too prevalent, of keeping
cows in dark and damp basement IL
not good one. They can not have
the sunshine and pure air SO necessary
for good health. Windows that are
exposed may be protected for trifiing

CHAPTER Xxx.
WARREN AND PETE.


While the stirring events we have
related were transporting, Warren Stu,
art was in Chicago in blissful ignorance
of it all. He found his fathers real
estate agent very pleasant business.
like gentleman, and very rapid in all
his work save Mr.. Stuart's.
Warren was delayed from day to day
until he began to suspect that his father
had requested that he be retained some
time in the city. He wrote repeatedly
to Helen Lakeman, but received no
answer. His mother wrote him affec-
Tomato letters, telling him every thing
except what he really wished to know.
If there is any thing more annoying
than to receive letter which contains
every thing except just what you want
| to know, we have never discovered it.
Mr.. and Mrs. Stuart seemed TO possess
that remarkable faculty of talking or
writing all around a subject with
out touching it. Three words, three
strokes of the pen, would have
saved Warren many sleepless nights.

felt sure they would not. He ceased
to write to Helen, and wrote to his sis
ter Rose. In her he had warm, SYM
pathetic friend.
Warren little dreamed what was
transpiring at home. His next letter
from his father stated that Rose had
received his last and would answer it
soon; it continued urging him to re-
main until the agent had finished the
abstract for him.
Its all nonsense for me to stay
here" said Warren, chatting at this de-
lay. "The matter could all have been
transacted by mail, and / am cooped
up here for nothing. / am doing moth
ing, ut dead expense, and have a
notion to 90 home The next morn
ing he went to the agent and asked
him if he could get the abstract that day
in time to 90 home.
"No," said the agent, tossing back
his iron gray locks, and smiling
screnely. ut will be impossible. just

all will go right yet"
But this delay is useless. / don't

bringing it to his mouth.
.'Do you know how soon you will be
ready for me to return?"
81 can't say, just yet. but hope soon
to have the matter all fixed up satisfac-
torily."
The agent then brushed his vest and
coat with his hand, stroked his iron
gray whiskers and elevated his feet
to the top Of the desk before him. His
boots were BACKED and his clothes
brushed with care. Taking his ivory
handled cane, he tapped the toes of his
boots leisurely, rs though he were in no
particular hurry about any thing. War

longest tramp and fewest sales I've
ever made in my life. Here I am
among the breaks o Big Sandy, with a
pretty smart chance O. stayin' all night
in the woods"
The speaker was our old friend Pete,
the peddler. Pete is tired and stops to
wipe the sweat off his brow. 1t is hot
day, and the sun beams down on the
dry, hard road with fearful fury. Pete
has a heavy pack on his back and as
he goes along in half STOPPING posi-
ton, produced by long travel, he
smokes his pipe, sings snatches of
songs or communes with himself.

He stopped, sat his pack down by the
roadside and took seat on the green
turf by the side of it.
"Lemme see, I've got the Big Sandy

Plumber place. That's owned by the

stout stick down upon the ground with
force which made II crack.
There was rustling among the
leaves at his side. and hs saw a snake

dence. Pete stopped and rubbed his
eyes as if he feared it was an optical
delusion.
"Well, say, now-what in the name
o common sense does it meanp"
He closed his eyes again, and again
opened them-it was all there yet, the
teams, tents, shanties and machinery.

jist come onto bolt o calico which We
didn't think was in the pack 'spose we
go down and inspect it?"
AS Pete walked down toward the
camp of miners, man, who seemed
about forty-fve years of age, below
medium height and rather heavy set,
came to meet him. He had an hon
est countenance and mild though shrew
blue eyes. One had only to glance at him
to see that he was a thorough business
man.
"Wall say now!'' said Pete, stop
ping within a few feet of the smiling
stranger, and staring at him as if he
were ghost, "ain't you stranger in
these parts?"

"Prospectin', what kind of goods is

from his mouth.
IL am prospecting for lead and silver

"Oh, yes, We are one o them fellows

YES, except we go deeper. Where
are you going?"

"You can't make it before dark"
81 know it," said Pete, "but then
there's 10 house this side o there"
IF you will accept the hospitality of
miners camp we would be glad to
have you stop with us.
Pete thought he could do no better,
and as the miner seemed to be very
friendly sort of man he accepted the
invitation. Unslinging his pack in one
of the tents. he said:
"lreckin maybe there'll be a chance TO
sell We somethin' in the mornin'. I've got
the best lot o calicOs, muslins, linens,

morning." said the miner. 'In the
meanwhile, make yourself at home"
Pete was soon mingling among the
miners, picking up such information as
he could, and making himself very
agreeable. When they sat down to
supper, and the prospector asked a
blessing, Pete said to himself:
"He's piece what'll stand wind m

no cotton chain or film about him.
